May Nigerian Police never happen to us all. Those psychopaths should not be living among sane people.

I transfer to that same account when funding. I alo ensure that I write my account number on the narration,remark or reason for payment column so , there's nothing weird there.

Infact that's how all much funds collection accounts are.

Plus10:
It’s not weird, that is how mmf collections work.

Thank you!

Hello all,

Please how do you normally fund your Stanbic MMF?

I found this (see attached image) on their website, but it looks weird to me that the receiving bank is UBA.

Onyiridike:
I will.

All right. Thanks!

He cannot change his style and neither can he take risk. The reason I prefer Mourinho to him.
Mourinho can play a defender as a striker if that will help him to win.

Hello,

I attempted to reach out to you by sending a message request. I'm not sure if you received it. Please kindly check 🙏🏾

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in Nigeria offer a unique opportunity for individuals to invest in real estate without directly managing properties. REITs allow people to buy and sell shares in companies that own or finance real estate properties, providing a way to diversify investment portfolios and earn rental income without the hands-on work of being a landlord

Types of REITs in Nigeria:

- Equity REITs: Invest in and own properties, generating income from rents and property sales.
- Mortgage REITs: Invest in and own property mortgages, generating income from interest on the mortgages.
- Hybrid REITs: Combine elements of equity and mortgage REITs, investing in both properties and mortgages .

*Benefits of REITs in Nigeria:

- Liquidity: REIT shares can be easily bought and sold on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
- Diversification: REITs provide a way to invest in real estate without directly managing properties.
- Stable Income: REITs can provide a regular stream of income through dividend payments.

Challenges Facing REITs in Nigeria:

- Lack of Public Awareness: Many Nigerians are not familiar with REITs and their benefits.
- Difficulties in Processing Land Titles: The process of obtaining land titles in Nigeria can be slow and cumbersome.
- Limited Regulatory Framework: The regulatory framework for REITs in Nigeria is still evolving and may not provide sufficient guidance or support.

Despite these challenges, REITs in Nigeria have the potential to provide attractive investment opportunities and contribute to the growth of the country's real estate sector.

Thanks for this. Which companies in Nigeria offer these services, please?

Is it AI that helps students draw chemical structures and solve math problems during exams?

The part he said he'll deport undocumented immigrants and their family who may be US citizens in order not to "break up the family" 💀

Or where he said he would only show retribution through success. And then when asked if he will go after his enemies, said "If they were crooked, if they did something wrong, if they have broken the law, probably."

What kind of data in percentage is this

I think the percentage is based on the number of people that responded to a particular category.

I have made the payment, I have received a mail that said paymemt complete, in that mail is a link to book for appointment, which I have done. I have gotten an appointment slip. So which one is the approval mail again? Someone should help out pls. This is my current status.
Thanks

Just proceed for capturing as long as you've made payment and booked an appointment.
Below is what the approval mail looks like by the way:

waleayeni1:
Thanks For Sharing. Ekitiman said a letter of sorts is required for renewal of expired passport, but you did not mention any letter submitted. Please help to reconfirm the entire documents that you submitted. Also, did you have to take any of the documents to the courts to certify? i remember that i had to do something like that the last time i had a passport done

No, I didn't take any letter with me. And those three are exactly the documents I submitted. Mind you, mine is a fresh application and not a renewal

omotoda:
Ok.Thanks. Today makes it a week I made payment and no approval notice yet.It Is really frustrating

Have you checked your spam folder? You can try your luck and proceed to the NIS office to continue your application even if you haven't received the approval mail yet. I never knew anything about the approval when I went for capturing today.

gtboy2626:
How many days from the day of payment did you get the approval email?

I made the payment on Aug 19 and got the approval mail this morning while I was at the NIS office.

omotoda:
Was your application approved before proceeding for capturing?

Yes it was

My Experience at NIS Abeokuta



I arrived at the Abeokuta NIS office at 7 AM. I met a security officer at the gate who told me I can only be allowed inside until 8 AM. By 7:50, we already had a crowd of about 70 people waiting at the gate to go in. At 8:05, an NIS officer came to address us at the gate. He asked for the elderly to come forward first, followed by the physically challenged, people with kids, and pregnant women. There, we were asked to present our appointment slip (for those capturing) before entry. You can also show them this on your phone. Next, we were marched to a reception where we wrote down our names and given a tag number (I was the first to arrive but I got tag 25).

Afterwards, we were taken to a holding area that looks like a typical lecture hall.

After some minutes, some officers came to call out the names of people whose application has been vetted. I assume these people have come to submit their applications before today. However, it was my first time there and my application hasn't been vetted. The only thing I did was fill out the application form and pay online.

People in my category were then told to go to one area at the reception to vet our application. After that, we were asked to wait at the holding area, meanwhile they called out the first 40 people having tags 1-40 to head upstairs for capturing.

I was holding tag 25 so I went to meet the officers and asked if I should follow that set of people but I was told to wait behind.

Then the wait began.

I was in the holding area till about 11:30 AM when one officer came to call my name. I followed him upstairs to the capturing room and I was done with capturing at 12:01 PM.


In summary, I was at the NIS office in Abeokuta for a fresh passport application today. I got there at 7 AM and left at 12 PM. The experience was smooth and the officials were professional.


Documents I went with (2* copies each):

1. Payment receipt
2. Appointment slip
3. Application slip

Thanks to everyone for the information you all provide here. I found them helpful.
Hope this helps someone, too.

ekitimanalways:
Yes, a guarantor is no longer one of the requirements for passport applicant.

Thank you Ekitiman

I read that a guarantor's form is no longer required for the application process. How true is that please?

ekitimanalways:
Your local government certificate of identity is perfect.

Thanks a lot

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. Which of these applies to someone applying for the first time? Also, I learnt that one has to go with a guarantor's form, etc.

badcommando:
I applied for a passport online on May 30.
I uploaded my NIN, birth certificate, and photograph on the website. I selected Uyo office as my preferred office for capturing and collection.
I paid a sum of #36400 online with my debit card.
Then I printed out the application slip and payment slip.
I was given a date in June as appointment for capturing and biometrics
I went to NIS office in Uyo on the date and was attended to early. The official snapped my picture and I also did thumbprint. He gave me a passport tracking number and told me to expect an email from the office.
I didn't receive an email after six weeks so I went back to the office to check and passport was ready for collection.
It was a smooth D.I.Y process

Please, what are the documents you went with?

Lol actually you sound unintelligent not because you font know what you saying but because you dont know how the system works..#shalom

How does the system work? I'd really like to know.

Lol dey play dey celebrate yeye course

Look at you laughing at your own ignorance. Very bold of you to call Animal Breeding and Genetics a yeye course.
AFAIK, that school is the only one that offers this course in the whole of Nigeria for many years. Don't really know about now though. Do you even know the limitless career prospects in Animal Breeding and Genetics? I see you're not informed so I'll take my time to enlighthen you.

As he is, he has equal chances with someone who studied Microbiology, Biochemistry or Genetics to proceed and obtain a Msc or PhD in genetics-related fields. Talk about molecular genetics, human genetics, computational genomics, bioinformatics, medical genetics, etc etc.

So you see, sometimes it better to just keep quiet and learn instead of making statements that make you sound unintelligent.

Nobody is going to take this claim seriously unless she has a solid evidence to back it up.
